Use the Overrides tab on the Point Group Properties dialog box to specify point property override values for the points that belong to the point group.
When a point belongs to a point group, you can override some of its individual properties using point group overrides. When you specify an override value, that value is used to display the point in the drawing and appears in drawing point lists. However, the stored value for the point is not changed.
You can use point groups to override the following point properties:
- raw description
- elevation
- point style
- point label style
The point group display order can affect the override values displayed in labels for raw description and elevation. It can also affect the point style and point label style that can be used to display a point in a drawing. For more information, see Changing the Point Group Display Order.
